Why isn't phonics spelled like it sounds?
Basically: because words are labels for concepts and are mostly arbitrary, with the exception of some onomatopoeia. It's usually pointless to infer anything about the quality of a thing from the quality of the name for it.

Why do letter names exist in parallel with their phonic sounds?
It goes back to the days of Latin, since unlike the Greek alphabet, which had actual names for its letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon etc.), it mostly took the sound that the letter stood for and if needed added an /e/ (short or long) to it.
